While the players from both England and Scotland watched on as Duhan van der Merwe scored one of the great Six Nations tries, Finn Russell used the moment to rub it into his opposite number Owen Farrell, after the England captain failed to lay a finger on on the big Scottish winger.

The maverick ten was seen rushing up to Farrell and pushing him, before clearly shouting something in his direction.

It also came soon after Farrell had smashed Russell, causing a turnover, while he was in a dangerous position in England's 22.

As you can see in the clip below, there is no love lost between the former Lions teammates.

"To win from behind, when you've only got five minutes, to score such a good try makes it all the more special.
